In the second quarter of 2026, the global DRAM market reached $147.02 billion, a record high with 55.9% quarter-on-quarter growth. Manufacturers expanded sales of high-value products such as server DRAM and HBM to meet robust server demand. Average selling prices for server and PC DRAM rose 40%–50% quarter-on-quarter, down from the previous doubling pace, yet favorable pricing drove strong revenue growth.
In the second quarter of 2026, the global DRAM market reached $147.02 billion, up 55.9% quarter-on-quarter, setting a new historical high. The figure reflects the overall performance of the DRAM industry during the period.
During the quarter, manufacturers responded to robust server demand by expanding sales of high-value-added products such as server DRAM and HBM. Compared with the first quarter, the average selling price (ASP) for server and PC DRAM rose at a slower pace of 40%–50% quarter-on-quarter, down from the previous doubling level. The favorable pricing environment continued to support stronger DRAM prices, leading to both higher volumes and prices, which drove a significant quarter-on-quarter increase in manufacturers' second-quarter sales revenue.
